Are supercomputers and killer robots going to take over?

In this episode, Adam McCauley speaks to professor and author Anthony King in order to debunk the science-
fiction tinged narrative of AI’s military potential and to, instead, explore the actual applications of AI in the armed forces over the last decade.

Professor Anthony King was appointed Director of the University of Exeter’s pioneering Strategy and Security Institute in 2023. He previously held positions at the University of Warwick and the University of Liverpool. He has also been advising the armed forces for over two decades. His latest work is AI, Automation, and War: The Rise of a Military-Tech Complex.
